On the evening of January 4 a crowded incct

Reported Dliw-owry of m Conmtlraay Acalnat
Letters from St. Petersburg state that a vast
Vnsplracy has been discovered against tha. Ufa
if the Czar. The centre of action of the eon-
jiitorB was the- city oiLOdessa. The pupils of
fie University Papich and Yeremichcw are
rlnoipally inculpated. In order to carry out
aelr object the conspirators had resolved to
jar up the rails of the line during
m journey of the. Emperor . from Odessa to
L Petersburg; but the rigorous surveillance
lerelsed over the whole Hue the Czar was to
se prevented them from executing their pro
set. The police did not even suspect that the
itils had been removed by such dangerous con
ilrsiors. The offense was attributed to the
aants of the neighborhood, who, when in
ant (A iron, have recourse to robbery in order
oiuln it. The most rigorous surveillance is
kiwerlee to repress this hind of theft, and this
plorabM cupidity of the ignorant peasants
tses the lives of the travellers who tako 'thU
line from Balta to Odessa to grave danger. The
conspirators arrested belong without exception
to the Russian nationality. A large number of
books, pamphlets, and revolutionary proclama
tions emanating from Russian printing offices
abroad, were found in their possession. The
Russians are ranch astonished that no Polo
was affiliated lo the conspiracy, although tne
Polish nationality is represented by a large num
ber of yonng men at the University of Odessa.
Tbe police nave also discovered a conspiracy at
St. Petersburg. Several youug men are accused
of having disseminated revolutionary proclama
tions. It appears, however, that this second con
spiracy Is a mere childish affair, and the yonng
Eeople mixed up in it will be tried In public,
lsts of proscriptions, npon which figures,
among others, XI. Katkoff, the famous editor of
the Moscow Gazette, have also bcon discovered.
The Government of the Cr.ar is anxious to ascer
tain whether these plots were fomented by the
Russian exiles in Switxerland. Tbe conspiracy,
ramifications of which were discovered at Mos
cow and tt. Petersburg, has nothing in common
with the Odessa pK)t.
THE TORNADO.
The Dcvastadoa at Davf IJIly-Vlflv llouot'H
Hmttrred im tlie W inds-Terrible PuffarloKn
Itarlnlaflhe Dead.
The Louisville Journal of January 10 says:
None but those who knew the place before
and have seen it since the disaster which oc
curred at 4 o'clock on Monday morning at Cave
City, can have an adequate conception of the
wonderful doings and terrible results of the tor
nado. The scene beggars description, defies the
exaggerating propensities of reporters, and can
never be fully comprehended even by those who
were in the midst of it.
The first heard of the storm by Professor A.
T. Williams was the heavy dashing of hail
against the windows of his house. The hall
storm lasted but a few moments, and imme
diately' thereafter the heavens and the earth
were 'illuminated by a living, continuous sheet
of flame. Professor Williams said ho had been
in many a hard-fought battle, and had heard
many hideous sounds, but never heard anything
like the voice of this monster storm. The crash
ing of the houses and the whirring of the tim
bers and splinters through the air which followed
the demoniacal sounds of the wind were terrific,
but nothing like the roaring and howling of the
winds.
It appeared that the storm, a dense cloud,
composed of all the angry, destructive, and
noisy elements of nature, rolled like a frreat
ball upon the earth, enveloping and wrenching
from its place everything that came within its
reach. Its speed was that of a cannon ball, or
of lightning ltsell. The storm hnd hardly sub
bided wbeu rain followed in moat incessant
torrents, and the half-clad, homeless people
were drenched und chilled until thoy were help
less from exposure, if not from the wounds
they received by being struck with or thrown
against the flying timbers, or buried In tho
debris.
Then followed n heartrending scene, if dark
nesa like that of Egypt, occuslonnlly broken by
a vivid flash of lightning, could be called a scene.
What the eyes could not behold the ears could
hear. The stout hearts that were terrified a few
moments before by the hideous shrieks of the
storm-demon, now melted - with pity at the
piteous wall of the poor, helpless women and
children. The danger was over, but the suffering
bid commenced. Husbands and wives, parents
and children, who had been sleeping comfort
ably in tbe same room, perhaps in each other's
fond embrace, were separated and thrown in
opposite directions, in some instances falling
several hundred feet from the slto of their dwell
ing!. To search for each other in the awful
darkness, tne urencmng rain pouring aown ana
impeding the steps of those who were free and
able to walk, guided only oy tne sound ot tne
voices oi the euhering, treading npon upturned
nails and splinters, with unprotected feet, stum
bling over the piles of timber and debris, with
out a single hope of finding loved ones alive, and
with the certainty of finding them cold in death
or suffering from their wouude was the work of
two hours of such darkness us is only known
just befora day and immediately after such a
storm.
Professor Williams, after being awakened and
hearing tbe approaching storm, anticipated
danger, and prepared for the word results. He
thought his house was strong- and would with
stand the storm, and it did bravely resist the
first attack, but it was afterwards lifted from Its
foundation and turned around like a top two or
three times, and then, in an instant, the whole
building was torn to splinters, and the fragments
and tne occupants were toesea to tne winas like
feathers. Not more than thirty seconds elapsed
from the time the storm struck the house until
it was torn to pieces, and the whole time, from
tbe beating oi tbe hail against tne windows
until tho storm was past, did not exceed two
minutes. There were poHitive evidences that
this houi-e was turned around before completely
yielding to the storm.- The persons who were
sleeping In a buck room were found lying lu
the front yard after the storm passed over.- Pro
fessor Williams had placed his clothing on n
chair near his bed on retiring, and hi punts
were found on a stake bait a mile west oi T.ne
site of the house. The coat was found three
fourths of a mile in an easterly direction, w hile
the vest was found about two miles west of
town. The leaves of the springs of a buggy
were torn asunder, and the axles of the buggy
were bent double, lucre were notning nut
small particles of the buggy remaining. A
handcart and a large water-tank were standing
nearly together, the tank containing about tmy
gallons of water, and the band-cart about an
eighth of a cord oi wood. These made tne tip
together, and were found three-fourths of a
mile lrotn where they had been standing, tne
tank very slightly injured and the hand-cart
completely demolished.
Mine bedsteads were in use in one rmiidiog,
and the largest pieces found after the storm
could have been put in a basket. Thirty chairs
in tbe some house were so naaiy crnsuea and
wrenched that enough pieces could not have
been found to make three complete chairs. Pro
fessor Williams had a library containing several
thousand volumes, and not one of them can be
found that is fit for any use. No less than
fifty houies are said to have been demolished,
containing not lesa than fifty thousand dollars
worth of furniture, clothing, etc., and there is
not an article to be found that is worth fifty
cents In scrip. If all tbe articles of clothing,
Including feather-beds and mattresses and bed
clothes, remnants of furniture, carpets, pieces
of stovea, stove-pipes, canned fruits, etc. etc.,
were gathered up and brought to this city, aud
offered at auction, the whole lot would not
bring fifty dollars. This being true, what must
be the condition of the unfortunate people who
have been rendered homeless and comtortiess (
But the loss in a pecuniury point ot view is
nothing compared with the loss of life and the
suffering of the wounded. Of those who were
reported dangerously wounded yesterday, two
have died. Joseph IT.' Brown and the wife of
Dr. Joel i . Wilson, A telegram received from
Cave City late lost night states several others
cannot live.
George W. Neville's wife and daughter were
very seriously Injured.: Mrs. Nevilles Injuries
are Internal, and may prove fatal. - The little

which were killed and two or three others
wounded.
The nursery of Mr. Rogers was completely de
stroyed. Some of the trees were torn from
their roots and carried away, while others were
worn out by being whipped against the earth.
There is no way of estimating tbe damage
done to live-stock. Many valuable animals were
killed and others rendered useless on account of
broken limtm. It is remarkable fact that,
although the houses of several colored families
were destroyed, not a single colored person was
killed, and very few were hurt. It is indeed
wonderful that any one who chanced to be
within the range of the tornado escaped from
instant death.

liretlntlona ny me i;viorea i-eonif .
The Nashville Union of January 18 has the
following account, which may very possibly be
an exaggeration of the real state of things:
liio indignities and josses ot property to
which the citizens residing in the vicinity of the
Old Contraband Camp out on the Franklin and
Charlotte and Granuy White turnpikes, have
submitted and sustained at the bauds of thieving,
vicious, and depraved negroes,' aro almost iu-
suflerable. These outrages have been systema
tically carried on and perpetrated ever since the
war to a greater or less degree, but recently they
have Increased and hecome more higb-handud
and atrociottd. Emboldened from the fact that
no sort of protection has been afforded the citi
zens, and no steps taken to stop tneir nciarious
deviltry, they commit every conceivable outrage
with impunity, both In open day and in the
night time. VVilhln the locality of these visita
tions reside some of our best, staunchest, and
most reliable citizens, who can of themselves do
nothing to prevent repetitions ot tne disgraceful
scenes. 1 ncir nanus are tied. 1 ncy know that in
their feeble and unprotected condition, if they
were to take tne matter into tneir own nanus.
or individually make themselves conspicuous in
tbe premises, tboir houses would be burned over
their heads, their families be turned out iuto
the pitiless storms of winter, or perhaps their
lives lie taken at a moment's warning. They
have suffered and endured until suffering is
their daily portion, and endurance is no longer
a virtue. There are several thousand of these
depraved negroes, embracing all ages, sizes,
and sexes and conditions, who have no occupa
tion whatever, and who live entirely upon what
they steal and rob ot tne wmte citizens, lhcy
are armed and banded together, as they are
making their boasts through thjL neighborhood
that their time has come now. They hold meet
ings of nights, shout and yell, sing, dance,
whoop, hallo, and caroHse, and lire their guns
and pistols, making a pandemonium with their
hellish revelries. Hogs are shot down and cut
into chunks aud pocked awayltdr use, without
the hair or hide being taken oil. Fine cows arc
butchered and skinned, and the meat appro
priated at will. Horses are taken from the sta
bles and ridden off, the owners being powerless
to prevent it. Oats are taken from
the stack, fodder from the barns
and corn from the crib, to glut their hun
gry maws. Poultry Is taken from the
yards and chickens from the roosts, and their
necks wrung to satisfy the thieving appetites of
these monsters. All kinds of vegetables are
takeu from the cellars and bods where they have
been stored for winter use aud appropriated in a
similar manner. Outhouses are torn to pieces
for fuel, and fences demolished for the same
purpose. These enormities have been carried
on so long, so persistently, and to such an ex
tent that the vicinity is rapidly being denuded
of stock of all kinds, while there is scarcely a
chickcu left to crow for day. Farming utensils
are absolutely carried olf aud destroyed,' or
othcrwine appropriated. We are assured by tho
most reliable citizens living in the locality that
unless something is done to put a stop to these
damaging depredations it will be impossible for
them to remain there, and that they will have to
abandon their homes and seek uoodes elsewhere.
These are citizens who have borne with us all
the calamities and misfortunes that have
slllicted our State. If protection by our laws
be aHorded to our people at all, they are cer
tainly entitled to a part of it. . Can nothing be
doue for them? Is this state of things to con
tinue? Are whole communities of good and up
right citizens, with their homes, interests, pro
perty, and families, to be given up to the merci
less rapacities and midnight atrocities of armed
and threatening negroes without an effort in
tneir bcuoii or a step neing taken towards tneir
reliel , .
During the lost few days these negroes have
committed more excesses in the localities indi
cated than they have at any time since tbe holi
days, and have shown more audacity tuan per
haps at any time previous. On Sunday night
they tore hundreds of panel of fence, pi auk
and rail, from the enclosures of various parties,
und appropriated the same for fuel and for other
purposes. Gardens and farm enclosures are thus
left unprotected, and everything looks dis
couraging for operations of the ensuing spring.
They als on Sunday night went to the store of
Mrs. Wainright, who has been doing business in
the vicinity for some years. They effectud an
entrance through the window and curried off
everything, not leaviug a ribbon. The stock
cons'ibtcd of some $800 worth of goods and com
prised pretty much the lady's eutlre property.
The ltev. Horace Coak.
The rumored surrender of his ordination license
by the Rev. Horace Cook is denied by Presiding
Elder Pease. The latter has received a private
communication from Cook regarding his sever
ance of his connection with tbe Seventh Street
Methodibt Episcopal Church, which doubtless
gave rise to the rumor. Dr. Pease eould not re
ceive Cook's resignation from the ministry. The
Annual Conference aloue will have to act in his
case next April, and until they de act his status
remains the came. Brother Cook is iu the hands
of friends who will care for him until the Con
ference meets, bnt his whereabouts Is unknown
save to a few of his most intimate friends. AT. Y.

Mr. T. T. Cooper, who last year failed In
his adventurous attempt to pass from Western
China to India, is uow about to try what he can
achieve, by starting from India. For some
months past ho has been living at Huddya,' In
Upper Assam, with the view of conciliating the
tribes of the border before making any step in
advance. He has enlisted the sympathy of one
of the Mlshmee chiefs, who hns agreed to con
duct him to Bathang and back, if he can ac
complish this journey, he will have carried out
his object, which is to prove the fact of overland
communication being possible between Sychuan
and Assam. The Hamas have so lar jealously
guarded all the passes in these parts for fear lest
Indian tea should find it way iuto Thibet. The
Government of Pekln have always subsidized
the great monasteries la Lhassa, Tslamdo, Ll
thang, and Bathang, In order to preserve the
monopoly in Thibet. Mr. Cooper travels by the
left bank of the Brahmapootra northwards for
some distance, and when he has reached to
about latitude 28 b(), he will strike off in an
easterly direction for Zy-yu. a mart of some im-
Eortance lying under the slopes of the Hlma
iyas. If he can reach this town his onward
course to Bathang through Bonga ought, judging

The resolution of Congress of January 17tb,
requiring the Secretary of the Navy to Inform
the House at what annual cost each foreign
squadron has been maintained for each year In
the last four years, including the expense of fit
ting out each vessel of said squadron, and re
pairs on the same, will take the present small
clerical force of tho department six months to
collect and put In shape, and will then bo of no
practical use.
The evident objeet of the resolution is to worry
the present excellent Secretary, who, if he wpuld
but take the conducting of the department, in
its details, into his own bauds, would accomplish
far more satisfactory results than trusting to
others who claim greater experience in naval
matters. '

OBITUARY.
Ioala Moroaa (3tlrhalk.
By the (tosmshlp South America, which ar
rived at New York yesterday, comes the melan
choly intelligence of tbe death of the well
tnown American pianist and composer, L. M.
Gottscbalk. During a grand concert in Rio
Janeiro he fell senseless at his lnstrum jut, while
performing his favorite composition, "LaMorte."
lie expired at Tijuca, near Rio, whither be had
been removed, on the 18th of December, after a
lingering illness of three weeks' dura ion. The
fact of his being seized by the sudden Indisposi
tion which resulted in his death while li the act
of rendering "La ' Morte" ia a startling coinci
dence. ! The Emperor of Brazil, with whom
Gottscbalk was a great favorite, manifested
great anxiety during his illness, and sent con
tinually to obtain tidings of bis condition. The
funeral solemnities wore conducted under the
aupplccR of the Philharmonic Society of Rio
Janeiro. It was attended by great numbers of
people of all nationalities. His remains were
deposited in the Church of St. John the B.iptUt.
Louis M. Gottscbalk was born in New Orleans
on the 8th of May, 1829, and consequently was
only in his forty-first year at the time of his
death. Ills parents were Almee de Brusle and
Edward Gottechalk. Ills maternal great-grandfather,
Count Antolno de Brusle, colonel of
cavalry under Louis XV, was Governor of San
Domingo during the negro insurrection which
occurred towards the close of the last century.
After having, at the head of the colonial troops,
struggled bravely against the insurgents, and
having seen hifl wife and most of his cjilldren
perish, he was traced in the woods by his former
slaves, and escaped, thanks to the devotion of
an old negre'ss, a kind of sorceress, who passed
him, . under the monk of night, through the
camps of tho insurgents. Ills eldest son, Count
Camille de Brusle, and wife, gained by swim
ming (under the fire of their pursuers) an Eng
lish ship which lay near the coast, aud which
was bound for New Orleans.
Edward Gottschalk, a young Englishman, a
doctor of science, from tho University of Cam
bridge, whof e love of travel had led him to
America, was presented to Count de Brusle, and
not long after espoused Mademoiselle Almee,
his daughter. Thus Gottschalk became a Creole.
The first yctu-B of his life were passed upon the
shore of the romantic Lake Pontcharlrain at
roes Christian, then only Inhabited by the rem
nant of bn Iudlan tribe. As a child he was of
frail and delicate health, but of tender and
thoughtful nature. He was accustomed to roam
at pleasure for entire days in those wild and
melancholy savannahs, and often after pro
tracted search would be found sitting in reverie
npon a mound in the centre of the Iudlan forest,
which, according to tradition, was the grave of
an entire tribe who had been massacred by the
Spaniards, lie was cradled among the songs of
the negroes, nourished by Creole legends, and
surrounded by the mysterious Indian nature
from his birth.
At the age ot four or five years he began by
artistic intuition, without a master, to express
upon the piano his thoughts and emotions the
strange and undefined melodies which were the
fruits of his solitary musings. The Indians living
in the neighborhood of his home used often of
an evening to gather in crowds around his door,
amazed at the knowledge of the "little white,"
and charmed by the strange, sweet sounds
which he drew from tho "big box." At the age
of seven, the child gave bis first concert for a
pious ebarlty. At ten he composed several
studies, which possessed great merit.
The worldly prosperity of his parents removed
from their minds all thoughts of his becoming
an artist, but btill his love of music was care
fully nurtured. 10 pursued bis studies Irom
his own free choice, and his rapid progress was
due as much to tho harmony of his surroundings
as his own great genius, ;
When General Jackson, at the age of seventy,
decired again to behold the scene ot those bril
liant victories which be had achieved over the
English, Louisiana, wishing to honor her veteran
hero, organized a choice company, composed of
the grandsons of those who had distinguished
themselves in battle on the 8th of January, 1815.
Young Gottschalk was chosen lieutenant. The
old General, attracted by the tender beauty of
the little officer, took him npon his knees, and,
embracing him repeatedly, predicted for him a
brilliant career. lie was only deceived in the
manner in which the prediction would be ful
filled. ; lie expected to behold In Gottschalk a
renowned military general, but it was only in
the army of musicians that his peaceful laurels
were gained. .
If the progress of tie young Creole was re
markable, the retentiveness of bis memory for
music was truly wonderful,- for, in the Incredible
short space of one or two days, he would learn
hundreds of pages; but this facility far memo
rizing failed when he entered the domain of
literature. Piqued by the remonstrances of hU
professor, however, bis genius enabled him to
form a system of musical mnemotechny. As
the Messleure de Port Royal, who converted the
rules of the Latin grammar and prosody Into
eonplets, so Gottscbalk found the means of ap
plying bis I3 rical molomanla to geography and
bis tor)'. In like manner he put Vart poeiique of
Boilean In 12-8, and learnt it by heart. Thus he
soon stood first in bis class. -
Ills father having decided to send blm to Paris
to complete bis studies, young Gottschalk do
parted for France in 1841. His first master of
the piano ws M. Charles Halle, but bo was
soon succeeded by M. Camille Stamaty. This
eminent professor perceived at once the great
talent of his pupil, and devoted himself con
scientiously to its development. Gottschalk
continued bis studies in Paris for four years.
In 1844 Gottschalk gave a private loiree in the
Salle Pleyel, which was attended by a brilliant
assemblage of the most distinguished Parisians.
Chopin was present. After the young virtuoso
bad concluded bis masterly execution of the
concerto In minor, the author, of the immortal
"Polonaises" ran and embraced him, exclaim
ing: "Bleu, mon enfant, tres blen; embrasses
inol, encore, encore 1" Gottschalk was deeply
affected. He was then only fifteen years of ago.
' At the age of fourteen be composed tor bis
mothers ete, the fifteenth of August, two bal
lades fOssian; and, although these pieces have
not attained tbe wonderful popularity of his
other works, owing to their austere and religious
character, yet Chopin expressed tor them an
enthusiastic admiration, and they are ranked,
by artists, among the most chaste, original, and
poetic compositions. . .
In 1845, before be was sixteen, Gottschalk
Savone," "La Molssonneuse," and "La Danse
Osslanlque;" but they wero not published untl1
several years later, when the enthusiasm of tbe
public bad already authenticated the admirable
genius of the young composer.
Professor Malcden, Gottschalk's teacher In
composition, also took great Interest in the
progress of his pupil, and watched oyer hlui
with a father's care while mastering tbe rn1s ot
composition and the laws ot harmony. To this
faithful care this forming of tho pupil s mind
after hivh models is due in great degree the
excellence of Gottschalk's productions in that
class of musical literature. 1
His literary attainments at this early period ot
bis life were also remarkable. - At the age ot
scventeefi Gottschalk expressed himself in Eng-
lish, French, Spanish, and Italian with equal
facility. He read Virgil, translated Dante, re
cited Victor Hugo's "Les Orlentalcs," and found
Inspiration In the plctureaquo poems of 0lan. '
Owing to the fragility of his constitution and
the melancholy of his nature, a first' unhappy
affection at this time deeply affected bis health.
Ills physicians advised him to travel. . Unfore
seen reverses of fortune experienced at this
time by his father decided him to embrace, do
finitely, tho career of an artist. In the execetion
of this resolution ho found little difficulty. Ills
success In th batons had been almost unprece
dented. Being distinguished by birth, endowed
with pleasing appearance and courteous man
ners, having a mind of culture and refinement.
apart from bis musical accomplishments, the
youthful musician was eagerly welcomed by the
elite of all circles.
' His first concerts, In 1848, were splc-idld tri-
umphs-Bcrllo,, writing for the Jour naf WsDtbats,
styles blm emphatically the "Poet of the Piano.
In six months hh 'compositions wero known
over all Europe. , - , -1 -
To obtain rcposo after the labors conscqntmt
to tho musical successes during the winter of
1848 and 1840, .Gottschalk retlrod to Switzerland.
He had not long enjoyed this retirement When a 1 :
deputation from the Grand Duchess of Russia
arrived,, entreating him to visit - Geneva, - at
which place she was then stopping. While on
decided us to this invitation, other deputations
arrived. He was obliged, by the demand of the "
public, to give up his private- life. He travelled
over Switzerland and Saxony, overwhelmed !
with favor und dint'incUou.' At Yvcrdun his ' '
benevolence Inspired hliu with the Idea of found-''
ln a hospital for the aged. . This was done
from proceeds of his concerts.
He remained in Europe until 183, maklug
several professional tours over tho Continent.
He gave his firut concert in America February,
lbSfy InNew York.; After this ho continued to ,
reside in America, making concert tours of the
various cities at Intervals. . Tbe success with
which he has met in this country Is well known.
A few years ago be started on a tour in South
America, where he was rcculvewltb an ovation "
such as that country rarely witnesses. Ia Brajtt '
the Emperor bestowed upon him many marks of '.
favor, and the public patronized his concerts
with almost extraordinary liberality. Ajcneng

and numberless others, aro well known, He was, ,
also known as a writer, having contributed seve
ral articles to American and foreign periodicals.

musical public generally. A younger brother

find it difficult to place at more thau 5 per cent.,

with lenders, but with borrowers there is a dis
position to contract on time accommodations,
